The Port Wentworth Police Department is investigating after the aggravated and sexual assault of a disabled woman.

The victim told investigators the suspect said he was a city employee and tried to enter her home by saying he needed to do an inspection, said detective Brian Phinney.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid- to late-30s about 6-foot tall with a pot belly and sandy brown or blonde hair.

He was wearing bluish-grey work pants, a matching long sleeve work shirt and brown boots with an orange safety vest with silver reflective strips during the assault, Phinney said.

He had a plastic, rectangular identification holder with a photograph on one side clipped to the left side of the vest and wore a baseball cap, the detective added.

All city of Port Wentworth employees are issued identification cards and will present them upon request if not already displayed, Phinney said.

The Port Wentworth Police Department is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect. Anyone with knowledge of this person is asked to call the Port Wentworth Police Department at 912-401-0528 or Crime Stoppers at 912-234-2020.
